Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak has asked the Turk investment consultants to explore investment opportunities in the housing, infrastructure development and agriculture sectors of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He said that the provincial government was offering attractive incentives in these sectors under the public-private partnership concept in a bid to save the public money and enhance the standard of work.
This he said while talking to a Turk Investment Group that held a meeting with the Chief Minister at CM House today. The group showed its interest for investment collaboration with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government in housing, infrastructure development and food and agriculture sectors.
The meeting was also attended by Senator Mohsin Aziz, Secretaries of Local Government and Housing departments and other concerned officers. The group briefed the Chief Minister about its activities in Turkey and Pakistan and offered investment in housing sector of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Chief Minister Pervez Khattak referred to Peshawar Model Town project and told that the provincial government had invited national and international mega city developers to invest in the project on royalty basis only as such outsourcing concept would save the government money on one hand and provide better housing facilities to the people of the province on the other.
He said the KP government was also working on various other housing and infrastructure projects and the Turk group may explore investment opportunities in such projects. He asked the Turk investors to also look into possibility for development of a modal town at Jalozai for which 3000 kanals of land was available.
